budget performancecar value honda crx

Budget Performance-Car Value - Honda CRXWriten by David Bellm

Looking for sports-car kicks, but with the abundance of speed parts and vast modification potential of a Civic? Look no further than Honda's feisty little CRX.

These pocket-size coupes made their debut for 1984. Essentially a two-seat version of the redesigned Civic also introduced that year, the CRX was initially aimed at people who sought frugal commuting (base 1.3-liter versions had EPA fuel economy ratings of 51 mpg city, 67 highway).

But the real news for enthusiasts came the following year when Honda gave the CRX its sporty Si version, which included upgraded suspension, performance-oriented tires, and a hotter 91-hp version of its 1.5-liter engine -- good for sub-nine-second 0-60 mph times in the featherweight car.

For 1988, an all-new CRX bowed, based again on a new Civic platform. CRX's wheelbase increased, and this second-generation design was somewhat heavier and bigger overall. Fortunately, performance remained in the same league, with the Si's horsepower rating increasing to 105, then 108 the following year. For 1990, CRX got four-wheel-disc brakes.

As sweet of a car as it was, this generation of CRX was destined to be the last -- Honda discontinued the line after 1991, replacing it with the similar but open-roofed Del Sol several years later.

Today, used CRXs are pretty easy to find, but it can sometimes be hard to gauge their true value -- completely stock ones are showing up less and less since these cars became immensely popular with sport-compact fans. The price of a particular CRX can often depend on the various upgrades it's received.

Popular mods include body kits, custom paint, aftermarket wheels, and hotter VTEC engine swaps. As with any modified car, look closely at how well upgrades are executed. In most cases, the work will have been done by the car's owner, whose talent, budget, and experience are unknowns.

Most CRXs now sell for less than $5000, with many of them below $3000. Those sub-$3k CRXs tend to be unmodified. And unmodified CRXs also tend to be unrestored.

That can be an important point, because all CRXs are at least 14 years old -- a lot them are pretty tired. You aren't likely to find a CRX with less than 100,000 miles at this point. Therefore buyers who want a completely stock example to start with will need to carefully consider how much money and patience they're willing to devote to basic mechanical repairs.

First-generation CRXs are getting kind of scarce, but if you have your heart set on their lighter weight and trimmer dimensions, those cars can be found with a little patience. And one plus is that they tend to show up in the lower end of the price range.

Regardless of what generation or level of modification, Honda's little CRXs can offer big-time fun. They're good performers to start with, there's plenty of aftermarket stuff available, and prices are about as low as performance cars go. Check 'em out.

car ownership and maintenance can we afford not to learn

Car Ownership And Maintenance - Can We Afford Not To Learn?Writen by Peter Lim

The car is one of the most useful inventions in the history of mankind. While some find the car to be a most valuable personal piece of property or asset, others would only use public transport, avoiding the attendant difficulties in owning and maintaining a car or automobile.

Are you one of those who only know how to start a car, drives it and then park it - not knowing how it works or how to maintain it in perfect condition?

Can we really afford not to pay attention to this modern invention of convenience, and learn how to own it and hold it as a prized possession?

Consider the level of your knowledge on cars and its upkeep.

Do you know how much it takes to get a brand new car or a used car to become road worthy before it can hit the roads?

Do you know you need to have adequate car insurance cover, and where can you source for it?

Can you perform the rudimentary checking of your car engine, the engine oil level, spark plug change, oil change, windscreen wiper change?

Do you know what to do to ensure car safety during the winter months?

If your answers to all these questions are in the negative, then it is important for you to start to take action and to learn.

Motor mechanics will be able to tell you that periodic checks and routine maintenance can add years to the life of your car, and ensure many years of smooth, trouble-free running of your car.

Assuming you wish to learn, here are some topics for you to research and to start off with:

1. How to buy a new car

2. How to buy a used car, and not be scamed.

3. How to compute your road insurance, and where to source cheap insurance cover.

4. How to prepare a plan of routine maintenance on your car.

5. How to perform rudimentary checks on your car.

6. How to change a car tire ( You'll be surprised many do not know what tools are suitable and how to actually change the tires!)

7. How to know the car battery is flat and when to replace it?

8. How to drive safely.

9. How to preserve the car color and extend its sheen.

10. How to extract the best mileage for your car and economise on the gas.

11. How and where to sell your car when changing to a new one.

Challenge yourself to pick up new skills and new knowledge on car ownership and maintenance, and begin to enjoy the use of your car. By understanding your car and how to use it and maintain it, you will find a new appreciation and value of this modern convenience, and be glad that someone in the past invented the combustion engine so that you can now enjoy the fruits of their labor.

You will also find that the costs of owning and operating a car will come down, and the level of your enjoyment of the use of the car to increase.

His 1979 model of the Volvo 244 GLM, which makes it a 26 years old car, still runs on the road and provides the comfort and conveniences of a modern new car.

car wash in kansas

Car Wash In KansasWriten by Lance Winslow

Is Kansas a good place for a Car Wash? There are many diverse markets in the Great State of Kansas. One gentleman suggested Lawrence, KS as a good location? Indeed I have been to Lawrence, KS; very nice people there as I recall. Sometimes as I travel I wish more people were as friendly as those in Kansas. Lawrence has decent demographics and only moderate competition. Could one find a semi-high traffic corner in Lawrence and make money with a car wash there?

If you are to put a car wash on such a property it might have to be significantly scaled down or perhaps a Coin-op or an Express Wash type operation. It could work or be made feasible. As far as costs there are many good business plans on the Internet and one, which I recommend can be found on www.carwash.com and there are several advertisers there who have car wash plans available.

The Blue Beacon Co. is intending to give you a run for your money in Lawrence so you may wish to stay heads up on that if you choose to compete in that market. The Walker Family with controlling interest in their Blue Beacon spin-off carwash division may go to lengths to win that market and use a little political clout to do so, be advised on that. I nave heard that they do not always play so fair, which is typical in hick towns, well at least that is the rumor in the truck washing business and one would assume that now that they are increasing units in the car wash market and hotels too that a similar tact would be something they might be into?? Who knows? Competition is fun.

But really no matter where you decide to build a car wash you are bound to have some good ole boy networks to deal with and some regional competition which clearly dominated their markets, so play to win, and plan to lead. Thats all for now. Keep the questions coming in. Thanks for listening.

repairing the paint job on your own car vs professional paint repair

Repairing the Paint Job on Your Own Car vs Professional Paint RepairWriten by Scotty Johnson

Repairing a car's paint job is not easy. It requires skill, tactics and a lot of patience. A car with a nice paint job is something to be cherished. If you have enough time to spend on your car and you are painting or polishing your own car at home then three components that treat paint surfaces are polish, cleaner and rubbing compound. All of them vary in aggressiveness. They work by removing unwanted dirt or paint, in small proportions, from the surface of the car. To choose any of these products you must examine the condition of your car carefully. If your paint has a dull look after car wash then polish will be the better choice. If paint is extremely dull then you need a cleaner and or rubbing compound.

Rubbing compound can remove entire paint where as polish removes only the smallest amount and a cleaner removes in-between. Removing paint is a serious job. You must choose product with right amount of aggressiveness. First you start with polish and if that does not get the job done or give enough effects then try the cleaner. If polish and cleaner both do not succeed then use rubbing compound. But do take safety measures while using rubbing compound, as it is a strong abrasive. If there is some minor fault or dull effects on your car then use polish. Polish helps you to remove contaminates on the paint surface that may include air borne pollutants, bird dropping or tree sap etc. Rubbing compound can easily scratch the surface of some cars, so extreme caution must be used.

In some cases painting your car with a spray gun is necessary to remove some blemishes or scratches. For that you need an air compressor and a spray gun. Before doing anything just take a spray card and paint it to examine the color match because once you paint the car change is quite difficult. Spray must have high quality solvents to guarantee high performance. If you avoid drying times, sanding times or flash times then this may result in very poor presentation. Even if you follow the instructions perfectly still you cannot replace a professional painter. It is highly advised to take help of their experience.

Mainly there are four basic steps that are required to paint a car and you must understand before going in for the process. They are prep, primer, blocking and spray job. You must also know that how to strip a car of all its trim, bumpers, mirrors, grills and other things that need to be removed before painting. You must strictly follow the instructions of mixing and spraying paint to get good results.

Nowadays a thin adhesive film is available in the market that comes in numerous colors. It is quite useful in creating large areas of color or graphics. It is just like masking. If you dont have enough time and fine painting skills then please dont ruin your cars beauty at home. Just send it to a professional car washer and detailer and they will work for you. Only if you want your own satisfaction of doing it yourself, and you have a lot of time to practice and perfect your skills should you attempt to do any serious detailing to your own car.

become a test driver for car magazines a dream job for automotive enthusiasts

Become a Test Driver for Car Magazines -- a Dream Job for Automotive EnthusiastsWriten by David Bellm

Imagine getting paid to drive some of the worlds greatest cars -- Mercedes, Corvette, Porsche, Viper, and others. Sounds great? Now picture doing that on luxurious all-expense-paid trips to exotic locations, where you hang out with some of the biggest names in the auto industry.

Thats everyday life for car-magazine test drivers.

Hard to believe? You're not the only person who thinks so. I've worked as a car-magazine test driver since 1999 and I still get looks of astonishment when I tell people what I do for a living. Getting a job like this seems like it would be as hard as winning the lottery. But the truth is, you don't have to be working for big, glossy sports-car magazines to enjoy a great job as a test driver. There are countless other publications that use test drivers. And you don't need extraordinary luck or rare talent to get into this profession.

Granted, it's not as easy as applying to get a part-time job at the mall, or even like going after a typical office job. But it's also not a frustrating, one-in-a-million chance like trying to become a rock star or a Hollywood actor either. Far from it.

There isn't a pre-specified way to become a car-magazine test driver as there is for, say, becoming a doctor or lawyer. So you have to pretty much find your own path into the field. That may sound intimidating, but it's actually another one of the profession's upsides -- people can work their way into test-driver jobs from widely varying experience and education. For example, one of my colleagues was working in a retail bookstore before becoming a test driver. He got into an automotive publication by taking a relatively easy job in a publisher's photo library. The photo library worked with the company's automotive division a lot, so he was in a prime position when a job opened up there.

Now he hangs out at racetracks, drives Jaguars and Corvettes, and goes on press trips to Hawaii and Palm Springs.

His story is fairly typical. Plenty of people -- men and women alike -- get into the profession in similar sorts of ways. And you might be surprised at how quickly things can move along toward getting such a job if you put your mind to it. Although every person's career progresses at a different pace, three to five years is a pretty normal time for breaking into becoming a test driver. Not bad for a job that routinely puts you behind the wheel of $60,000 cars for a week at a time.

For anyone who loves cars, being a test driver is like a fairy tale mixed with a weekend in Vegas -- you cant help but be amazed by some of the things you get to do. It takes more effort to get these jobs than it does to break into other, more mundane fields. But it's well worth it.

an overview on how to install neon amp led interior car lights

An Overview on How to Install Neon & LED Interior Car LightsWriten by Antonio T Gabellone

So you've got your LED or Neon interior car lights, but you're now a bit confused
as to where all the car interior neon lights and wires go? Well fear not, we'll
show all the in's & out's of this type of installation and the easiest way of
doing it.

It's a good idea to disconnect the battery before installing any car light
accessories. You can do this by disconnecting the negative battery cable and
placing it to one side of the battery where it won't touch any part of the vehicles
body. It's also wise to have your vehicles service manual handy for information
about the specifics of the electrical system on your vehicle.

For interior car lights, the best places to mount the LED or neon tubes are under
the dash on both sides just above where your feet go, but high enough so as not
to kick the tubes or damage them. There are also many other places you can fit
them and their location is only limited by your imagination.

To operate the lights manually, your going to need a switch located near you,
so you'll need to buy a simple 2way toggle switch (or use the switch that
may have came with your neon/led tube kit) from your nearest custom car
accessories store. This switch will be inserted into (in-line with) the main
power wire that supplies the kit with 12Volt power.

Choose if you want your interior car lights to turn on automatically when the
headlights are turned on, or if you want to control the lights separately with a
oggle switch.

If you want the neon or LED tubes to light up automatically when the headlights
are turned on, then you will need to find a wire under the dash near the
steering column. This wire you are looking for is normally Red or Yellow, and it's
supplying the headlight control switch with 12V power - you're going to have
to ap into this wire to light-up your neon lights when the headlights are
turned on.

If you want to be able to control the interior car lights separately from the
headlights, (best option) then there's two ways you can do this...

1) The power wire can be connected directly to the Positive side of the car
battery, or...

2) It can be connected to any 12V power wire from under the dashboard.

If you choose to tap into a power wire from behind the dash to power your interior car lights you'll also need to
buy a Circuit Tester from your nearest custom car accessory store - they only
cost about $10 dollars. To use this tester is simple, it looks like a pen with an
earth wire hanging out the top of it and a clamp attached to the end of the
wire, and it has a globe inside the middle of the pen, or on its end, which lights
up when you have found power somewhere.

To complete the interior car lighting circuit - you'll now just need to
attach the earth wire coming out from the from your led or neon tubes to the
chassis of the vehicle. You can do this in the same way as described above for
the earth wire on the tester - anywhere where there is bare steel under the
dash is always a good earth connection for your interior car lights, even if you
find a screw under the dash that is screwed into bare steel and it is holding
another wire in place as an earth, you can use this too as an earth location.
The control panel earth wire will need to be securely screwed to the chassis of the vehicle
or to any Earth wire to complete the power circuit.

After your power & earth connections are complete, your car interior neon
lights should now work. If they appear dull and not real bright, then be sure to
check that you have made GOOD earth and POWER connections.
That's it, you're all done - now all you have to do is put any plastic panels back
into place that you may have removed, pack your tools up, and then head off to
show your friends what a great look you've just created on your car - Enjoy!
